Toronto back alleys pt 4

Here's another drawing of the back alleys around my neighbourhood in downtown Toronto. Maybe they remind you of back alleys in your neighbourhood as well.

In keeping with the other recent drawings, I'm dedicating this one to another good friend of mine. This one's for Joyce, who moved out west a while ago but whom I hope will move back home to Toronto again sometime.

Chris -- Thanks, Chris. I can't believe you do your stuff without using a brush! I would never have known if you hadn't told me -- especially with your recent stuff. But I understand your frustration with it. I may just be slow, but it took me at least 3 years of brush inking before I stopped cursing after every single line I put down...

Chad -- Thanks for the compliments. Its fun and also a good excercise to work in 2 colours. I've always had fun with it.

Warren -- Thanks for the kind words. Yup, I'm still going to be a the speakeasy event. Hopefully you can make it out.

Carlos -- thanks, Carlos. These are mostly personal drawings I did after work. They're not really part of any big project. I just happen to draw the same themes over and over...hahah. Anyway, I'd love to see how you take on inking Kirby! That'd be really cool!

Please note that I do not do accept any private commissions (comic character sketches, family portraits, etc). I also do not sell any prints of my work online. Sketches and prints can usually be purchased at events that I am personally attending. Thanks for your understanding.

Upcoming Appearances

I'm looking forward to making my first appearance at the Dartmouth Comic Arts Festival this year. Should be a fun time - I'll be doing sketches, selling some prints and trying to enjoy the maritime weather!
